Kudos to the bartender "Anna Banana" she took our order at 10:50 PM and waited for us to finish our drinks while she provided us with some "Sam Malone" vibes. Her customer service was on point Cheers,

The breakfast offered is what they call a “Buffet.” This is a joke! They charge $22 per adult for this so called buffet. Which consists of deli meats, cereal, some fruit etc. Definitely not what I consider a Buffet. LOL. A lot lesser hotels include this for no charge to guests. The hotel and room was clean. The room is what I describe as “Modern Generic.” We will not stay again.

Parking is about 100 yards (possibly lol) from the hotel. The reviews I read on here made it seem like it was super far. It’s more like 5 min and there’s sidewalks. Unless you have a physical disability it is not bad at all. We absolutely loved that this was pet friendly. There were A LOT of other pups there!! It’s within a 5 min drive of a few restaurants, LA Fitness, and also a grocery store I believe. The only thing I thought was odd is that to use the lights and AC you have to keep a room card in this slot at the front of the room. I’m guessing it’s to save energy, but we just kept one in there even when we left, because we like it COLD! I’m sure the front desk would give you an extra key. The area seemed pretty safe and new. There’s even a well-lit walking path across the street that leads to bball courts, pickleball courts, ping pong, etc. They may be for the condos nearby or the building right by it, but it’s open to the public. Overall, would def recommend this hotel!

The hotel experience was terrible There were teens running through the hallways and thumping furniture around. Jumping and screaming at the pool. It was the opposite of relaxing. I will never go there again. I ended up leaving around 11:30/12am
